Hi Friend,

 

Are you registered to vote? Are you sure?

 

Tuesday was National Voter Registration Day, but that doesn’t mean it’s the
only day you can register to vote (or check your registration!)

 

Check your registration here <[link removed]>. Election season will be on
us before you know it (and in some states,it already is
<[link removed]>!)

 

Here are three things to think about this week:

Nick talks with Andrew Yang <[link removed]>
<[link removed]>

Unite America Executive Director Nick Troiano sat down to talk with former
presidential candidate (and passionate political reformer) Andrew Yang this
week on his Yang Speaks podcast. Over the course of an hour-long conversation,
the two dive deep on the issues plaguing our politics, as well as the exciting
solutions emerging from around the country to solve them. 


It’s a fantastic conversation between two men who are leading the effort to
put voters first, drawing on our tradition of self-governance to reform a
broken political system.“It doesn’t have to be this way,” Nick reminds us. “We
can change it.”Check out their conversation here <[link removed]>.
(And be sure to check outAndrew’s incredible forthcoming book Forward here

How Final-Five can improve our politics
<[link removed]>

<[link removed]>

In this day and age, it seems unlikely that a Republican and a Democrat could
agree on much of anything.But it turns out, there is one thing: our political
system is broken — and Final-Five may just be our solution out.This week, our
friends at the Institute for Public Innovation, co-executive directors Solomon
Lieberman (a Democrat) and Aaron Menenberg (a Republican) write about why
Final-Five is the simple and elegant reform that can unbreak our elections, by
changing the incentives of our politics. 


Instead of serving primary voters, Final-Five voting (which combines
nonpartisan primaries with a ranked choice voting general election) encourages
leaders to serve all of their constituents. It givesevery voter a say in every
election. It’s worked for Alaskans. It can work for the rest of America as
well. Read theirfull piece here

California joins the rest of the West
<[link removed]>
<[link removed]>

In a major victory for reformers and voters, California became the eighth
state to adopt a full vote at home system, meaning that every voter will now
receive a ballot ahead of every election.In joining Oregon, Washington, Utah,
Nevada, Colorado, Hawaii, and Vermont, California has made their election
system more safe, secure, and accessible for voters. 

 

If you take a look at our vote at home map
<[link removed]>, you’ll see that vote at
home and absentee voting is exploding in popularity across the US, but
especially in the West. Red and blue states alike are making it easier for
voters to vote, while saving election administrators time and money. Will your
state be next?
